Abstract
Extracellular vesicles or exosomes, often known as EVs, have acquired significant attention in the investigations of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and have a distinct advantage in actively researching the fundamental mechanisms underlying various clinical symptoms and diagnosing the wide range of traumatic brain injury cases. The mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can produce and release exosomes, which offer therapeutic benefits. Exosomes are tiny membranous vesicles produced by various cellular entities originating from endosomes. Several studies have reported that administering MSC-derived exosomes through intravenous infusions improves neurological recovery and promotes neuroplasticity in rats with traumatic brain damage. The therapeutic advantages of exosomes can be attributed to the microRNAs (miRNAs), which are small non-coding regulatory RNAs that significantly impact the regulation of posttranscriptional genes. Exosome-based therapies, which do not involve cells, have lately gained interest as a potential breakthrough in enhancing neuroplasticity and accelerating neurological recovery for various brain injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. This article explores the benefits and drawbacks of exosome treatment for traumatic brain injury while emphasizing the latest advancements in this field with clinical significance.
